SSE does NOT have cent or ucent. What it does have is float[4], which 
became a value type just a few compiler releases ago.

In a sense, it has. Array operations are the perfect front-end for it, 
which has made my original code largely obsolete. The back-end code 
generation is still not in place, but it's a matter of time. There are 
so many things to do...
